 This is probably my favorite Rage song of all time. It’s pretty easy you
 just have to memorize the sequence and all the little fills and shit that
 Tom (master of guitarists) plays. Here it is.

 Note: Even though Rage has one guitarist, there are two guitars playing in
 this. They didn’t have another guitarist live, so Tom played a variation
 of this song. I have tabbed out the album version, which needs two guitars.

Note: To get that low, liquid sound Tom has, turn your toggle switch
all the way to the top position.

Note: there is a muted guitar in the back on a wah/wah pedal,
sort of a disco sound.

Solo

Note: I usually use my wah pedal to funk this solo up,
but I think tom uses a delay and some other effect. A delay will probably
sound better and if you have one, more power to ya

I’m not even gonna attempt to tab out the crazy solo at the end,
cause it’s nearly impossible to duplicate it. Just use some crazy pedal 
effects and a slide if you have them and keep sliding up and down among 
the real high notes while the bass plays 8 measures of riff 1.
